Lymph node structure.
The lymph system is present throughout the body. Common areas where
enlarged lymph nodes can be felt (palpable nodes) include: the popliteal,
inguinal, axilla and neck regions; under the jaw and chin; behind the ears; and
over the occiput. There are also non-palpable lymph nodes in the abdomen,
pelvis and chest regions. Their function is the same regardless of their location.
The lymph passes through numerous lymph nodes where the cleaning and
filtering process is carried out (Marieb 2003).
